Equivalent lipophilicity of esterified unsaturated higher fatty acids in the presence of silver nanoclusters.

Based on the own experimental data and the literature ones, a supposed relationship between the polarities of esterified unsaturated higher fatty acids contained in the native lipids in the presence of silver nanoclusters and possible variations in the coordination numbers of separate silver atoms in these clusters participating in the π-complex formation is described. Some new molecular parameters for satisfactory description of the chromatographic behavior and the general physicochemical characteristics of unsaturated hydrocarbon chains as constituents of individual lipid molecules in the presence of silver compounds are proposed. Some variants of possible applications of complex organic structures including their polyatomic clusters are mentioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
